Idefix with OS 3.9

[Ryu]

No offence to the other 2 posters but well... I have no idea what they are on about. This is what I do and this is what I suggest you do:

When you get OS3.9 before you install edit your current s-s and comment out the C:IDEFix call (;C:IDEFix). Thats all you need to do. OS3.9 handles the 4 way interface on its own. The only part of IDEFix I still use is atapi.device because I find it faster on CD-Rom drives than using the scsi.device.

No disrespect but OS3.9 does in a fashion. If you arent running OS3.9 you must run the IDEFix command to be able to access the 2nd IDE chain. With OS3.9 that isnt needed and infact can cause problems. I know this for a fact, I have setup many many amiga's with IDE interfaces over the years. The only thing OS3.9 doesnt seem able to do is use scsi.device on the second chain, so there I have my CD-Rom drives and use atapi.device. I also use atapi.device if I have a CD-Rom on the first IDE chain because the device driver is a lot more efficiant at reading CD-Roms than scsi.device is.

Thats right it wont... although I did find out I could use the second IDE chain with Just OS3.9 and no IDEFix in sight if I was using a new IDE interface from jens schofield, the type that can have the IDEFix express device added... so perhaps OS3.9 does have full 4 way IDE interface compatability buy with only 1 type of interface....
